From the Late Latin name Benedictus, which meant "blessed". Saint Benedict was an Italian monk who founded the Benedictines in the 6th century. After his time the name was common among Christians, being used by 16 popes. In England it did not come into use until the 12th century, at which point it became very popular. This name was also borne by the American general Benedict Arnold (1741-1801), who defected to Britain during the American Revolution.

English form of the Late Latin name Iacomus, a variant of the Biblical Latin form Iacobus, from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov (see Jacob). This was the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded under Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus.This name has been used in England since the 13th century, though it became more common in Scotland where it was borne by several kings. In the 17th century the Scottish king James VI inherited the English throne, becoming the first ruler of all Britain, and the name grew much more popular. In American name statistics (recorded since 1880) this name has never been out of the top 20, making it arguably the era's most consistently popular name. It was the top ranked name for boys in the United States from 1940 to 1952.Famous bearers include the English explorer Captain James Cook (1728-1779), the Scottish inventor James Watt (1736-1819), and the Irish novelist and poet James Joyce (1882-1941). This name has also been borne by six American presidents. A notable fictional bearer is the British spy James Bond, created by author Ian Fleming.

Our guide to the best biblical dog names
If there’s one book that’s full of powerful and timeless names that fit all types of dogs, it’s the Bible. God puts a lot of significance on names, ensuring that each one is full of meaning and story, so a list like the above is a great place to start looking.
The way you name a dog naturally affects how it is perceived by others, and how you are perceived too. So biblical dog names are ideal for those who are proud of their Christian faith, and want to celebrate it with their new puppy. If you need some help picking from one of the adorable religious and spiritual names listed above, let’s take a look together.
For male dogs, let’s start with Noah. This comforting name means “rest”, which your pup will be enjoying on a daily basis! And it refers to the story of Noah, who is most well-known for building an ark that preserved his family, as well as representatives of every land animal.
Asher is another great name for both boys and girls, but we usually hear it given to boys. The name is derived from the Hebrew word osher, meaning "happiness”, so it’s a really positive and uplifting name to give to a dog. And our final pick for boys is Samson, a strong masculine name with important religious connotations. Samson features in the Bible as a champion of the Israelites.
